Chapter 230 Prime Minister with Iron Arm

Half an hour ago, the deputy maid knew that Deng Baoji trotted out of the palace all the way to Xuanlu Yijian, Zhongshu Province, and told his majesty's urgent recruitment of him to enter the palace.

Lv Yijian was thoughtful. As soon as he heard Deng Baoji's tone, he knew that something had happened. After getting up and taking the emperor's order, he pulled Deng Baoji to the porch outside the hall and asked, "Dong Gong, why is your majesty so eager to summon the old minister into the palace!"

Deng Baoji had a difficult face and shirked several times before telling Lv Yijian, "Master Lv, Mingren don't do secret things. What the two governments have done is disgraceful!"

Lv Yijian frowned and asked, "What are the disgraceful things have the two governments done? Please ask Deng Du to know clearly."

Deng Baoji rolled his big eyelids and glanced at Lv Yijian: "Sir, are you still pretending to be confused? Your Majesty knows it. Lord Ouyang is waiting in the palace."

"Ah"

After Deng Baoji finished speaking, Lv Yijian understood. In an instant, his head buzzed, as if he had been hit with an old fist on his temple. After a while, he stabilized his mind and replied with shame, "Dissatisfied with Deng Duzhi, Yunzhou 500 miles of urgent delivery to the capital has just arrived. The two houses have not discussed the countermeasures. How can I..."

Lv Yijian said it plainly. In fact, he had long hated Ouyang Xiu to death in his heart. He kept scolding this shameless man and especially liked to make trouble in front of his majesty.

"Okay, okay" Deng Baoji didn't have time to listen to Lv Yijian's nagging. He quickly stopped him and said, "Master, you'd better hurry up and enter the palace with the miscellaneous family. How long has it been delayed? If your majesty blames you, the old slave can't afford to sin."

"Yes, yes, what the public said is very true, please wait a moment, and I will come as soon as I go."

Lv Yijian posted Deng Baoji outside the Zhongshu Provincial Political Affairs Hall. He just ordered someone to move the chair for Deng Baoji to sit, and also saw a pot of tea to quench Deng Baoji's thirst. However, Deng Baoji was not in the mood to drink tea under the imperial order, and he did not dare to sit casually outside the political affairs hall. He is an old man. In case he is caught and put it in a book, even if The emperor did not pursue him, and those imperial historians had to make him terrible.

Therefore, Deng Baoji would rather stand there and worry than sit down, or drink the pot of tea ordered by Mr. Lv.

After a stick of incense, Lv Yijian took Du Yan, the secret envoy, and a class of officials who entered the Academy left Zhongshu Province and left with Deng Baoji.

The arched hall.

The servant brought up a pot of dragon well before the rain. Renzong took a small sip, then put down the tea bowl, gently clasped his fingers, and knocked on the imperial bookcase to make a crisp sound. Ouyang Xiu was beside him, and his heart was like water. After adding oil and vinegar just now, he was already very sure that His Majesty was angry, so he closed it at the right time. I put on my mouth and waited to see the good show behind me.

At this time, Deng Baoji took Lv Yijian and Du Yan to the outside of the hall.

The eunuch of the Si Dian sang loudly and entered the hall briefly.

Renzong suddenly stood up and glared at the door of the palace.

Ouyang Xiu turned around slightly and glanced at Lv Yijian who came to the hall.

"Your Majesty, the old minister Lv Yijian was ordered to enter the palace!" Lv Yi made a salute and bowed to Renzong.

"Fang body" Renzong sat down angrily, looked at Lv Yijian and slowly got up, and then suddenly said, " Prime Minister, there is such a big mess in Jeju, why didn't you start earlier?"

"Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister's words." Lv Yijian took a step forward and happened to compete with Ouyang Xiu.

"Tell!" Renzong replied rudely.

"Yes, Your Majesty" Lv Yi replied without squint, "Yesterday, I received a memorial from Lord Yan Wenying, the magistorate of Yunzhou, saying that the celestial phenomena in Jeju was abnormal. A strange city appeared near the state boundary in just one night. Lord Yan has sent troops to station 30 miles north of Jeju. In order to be cautious, Yan Da People reported the matter to Beijing. Weichen and the adults in the Privy Council discussed it and felt that this matter was too strange and strange. How could such a strange thing happen under the bright universe? It was difficult for Lord Yan to deliberately do it. In order to attract the attention of his majesty, the old minister did not dare to neglect it. He wanted to send someone to find out and report to his majesty, and then his majesty issued a decree. The generals, or other arrangements, so the old minister did not dare to enter the palace in time."

Lv Yijian's excuse is very good. Even Renzong was moved by it. After a moment of franing, he asked, "Even if Aiqing is right, how to explain how to explain that Jeju thieves kill officials and disturb the people and occupy the city."

"Your Majesty, there are several thieves in Jeju. The Privy Council has found out that the Guangji army has determined Zhan Qian of Taozhi County as evidence. The old minister thinks that this matter should not be over-proclaimed, otherwise it will disturb the hearts of the people. I planned to send troops to calm down the matter and then announce it to your majesty. Therefore, I did not dare to disturb your majesty. If your majesty feels that it is not appropriate, please condemn it. Old minister, the old minister is willing to be determined by death, and he will never dare to bully you."

Renzong was very angry and happy. He said in his heart that there was a saying that there was no doctor in this dynasty. I know that Mr. Lv, you don't have to force him to die. I'm just asking. Thinking of this, Renzong's anger subsided a little and asked another question, "Aiqing, according to Lord Ouyang, there is Zhao Ze in the chaos in Jeju, but there is such a thing, and there is also a huge The wild was occupied, how to explain this? What about the loss of soldiers and generals in Dingtaozhi County and the loss of the Guangji army?

Lv Yijian had a plan in his heart and replied one by one, "Before Lord Guo of Kaifeng Mansion left office, he had found out the where of Lord Zhao. It turned out that he was arrested by Li Meng, a group of thieves in Liangshan. Li Di, the lord of Taifu, who was an official in Puzhou, could testify, and Li Xiaoji of Lei Zezhi County, could also testify, and even Zhang Dong, a judge of the water army, could testify. The old minister didn't understand why Lord Zhao was in danger but was not afraid of danger. It turned out that Lord Zhao wanted to slowly recruit this group of Liangshan thieves, so he endured humiliation and burdens. This is evidenced by Lord Zhao's handwritten letter. Please have a look."

Lv Yijian used his killer mace and presented the letter that Zhao Ze secretly asked someone to bring out a few months ago. After reading it doubtfully, Renzong showed a little smile and put the untidy letter on the imperial case.

"I have read it. It's indeed the handwriting of Zhao Qing's family." Renzong's words fell, and Lv Yijian's heart in the middle of the sky fell down.

Then he answered: "The thieves who rioted in the huge field were a group of demons of Maitreya. They threatened Cao Zhifu, opened the armor warehouse, pretended to be officers and soldiers to plunder everywhere. The Guangji army was attacked because they did not know that it was the enemy, so they lost the soldiers and generals. However, the Guangji army decided to know that Zhan Qian, who was in Taozhi County, endured humiliation and did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to the capital to report. The letter is enough to prove that this person is bold and loyal. He knows that he has lost the Guangji army and lost many soldiers. If he really returns to Beijing, he will be sentenced to death or exile. However, Zhan Qian came back. Therefore, the old minister thinks that Zhan Qian can still be reused. At least Zhan Qian is very familiar with the terrain of the Guangji Army and knows more about Jeju. If he is asked to atone for his sins and make contributions, it will be more useful than killing him with a knife, which also shows that His Majesty is generous and clear."

Renzong nodded and felt that Lv Yijian's words were very reasonable. Before, he suspected that he had finally relieved his past. He quickly got up and greeted Lv Yijian and walked to the imperial case. Lv Yijian bowed his head with a humble expression and came forward with a humble expression. He was pulled by Renzong's arm and scared him jump. He hurriedly replied, "Old minister, old minister is panicked, your majesty, is this?"

Renzong told him with a smile, "Lv Aiqing doesn't have to worry about it. I was not at ease after listening to Lord Ouyang's words, so I urgently invited Aiqing to enter the palace. I just understood what Aiqing said, but the thieves in Jeju are always a kind of my heart disease. I don't know how Zhao Qing's family has done. How Aiqing intends to deal with the giant. The Wild Maitreya Church

Lv Yijian said to Renzong with confidence, "Your Majesty's old minister has discussed this matter with the lords of the Privy Council. He intended to let Zhan Qian lead the army, but Zhan Qian is a civil servant. It's okay to make a plan. It may be impossible to lead the army to fight, so the old minister dared to ask His Majesty to let Wang De lead the army."

"Oh, it's okay?" Renzong asked.

"Your Majesty, Lord Du, a secret envoy, has also arrived today. Please ask Lord Du to go to the palace and know."

Lv Yi said that the whole set of drama should be done. Isn't Lord Ouyang deliberately trying to embarrass me? I have found all the people in the Privy Council and the Academy today. If you impeach him, you will impeach him together to see who can overcome whom.

Renzong nodded and agreed, and then Du Yan, the envoy of Xuanshu, replied.

When Du Yan walked into the hanging arch hall, he felt a little strange, because the assistant waiter and deputy knew Deng Baoji before that his majesty was angry. Why did Master Lu enter the hall for a while, and his majesty was not angry.

When he came to the hall, Du Yan stood up, bowed deeply, and bowed to the Lord. He shouted long live three times in his mouth, which made the glazed tiles on the hall tremble.

Renzong waved his hand: "Du Aiqing, don't be polite. Lv Xiang has just told me. Now I want to know what the Privy Council has a good plan to calm down the thieves in Jeju."

Du Yan's tone was gentle when he heard Renzong's words. The pressure was suddenly much less, and his mood was not as depressed as before. After sorting out his thoughts, he replied, "Your Majesty, the Privy Council has drawn up a fold, intending to let Wang De, the Duke of Lu, be the commander, and Chen Zhizhong Supervision Army of the Privy Council, and the Shenwei of the three counties of Zhongmou, Kaocheng and Xiangyi. The army went to Jeju to eliminate the bandits, and instructed the front department to send a battalion of forbidden troops to sit in the army with Lord Chen."

Renzong nodded and felt that "I am very gratified to arrange it like this"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this is a matter of the ministers"

Du Yan raised his head and looked at Lv Yijian. Seeing him standing on the side of the imperial calligraphy case, he coaxed Renzong to smile. He couldn't help admiring this difficult opponent. If Lv Yijian was not too autocratic, he might stand on the side of the prime minister, but Du Yan knew that he and Lv Yijian were not the same person at all.
